What do you mean by "the test’s output"? You probably don't mean things
like print() and such as those are captured and shown at the end of the run.

We currently show the progress (percentage or count) in verbose mode. Do
you mean a progress bar?

This personally feels like a little too bloat, but if others think this is
nice then OK. This would be an option specific to the terminal plugin.

Those are all plausible ideas, feel free to create issues to them in the
tracker. Furthermore, some of them, specially 4, are really simple and
candidates for a PR. :)

Cheers,
